Chapter 114: The Targeting of White Fangs
After the last conversation, Orochimaru and Karn rarely saw each other.
The intention is almost confirmed, and the two sides can also cooperate in depth; As long as Orochimaru becomes the fourth Hokage, the relationship between Karn and Konoha will ease a lot, and Orochimaru will also help Karn block the embarrassment from Konoha and let him seize the position of the Daimyo.
Each has its own needs, each has its own needs, and the bottom line of Orochimaru is very simple; If there is no bottom line involved, and there is a need for cooperation, then he is very good at talking
The current Orochimaru is not like losing his disciple and the position of Hokage more than ten years later, he has the name of three ninjas, but he has nothing to worry about in the village, and after seeing through the essence of life, he chose to develop forbidden techniques and betray the village.
The current Orochimaru has a disciple with a bright future, and he is also a well-known ninja in the ninja world, and he has just commanded the battlefield on the border of the country of grass, which can be described as having an unlimited future.
The idea of rebelling against the village was not at all, and his current ideals were only influenced by Karn, and changed slightly; From learning all the techniques of the ninja world to mastering all the knowledge.
However, with the identity of Konoha Murakami Shinobu and the name of Sannin, it did not help him in the slightest for his dream goal, so Orochimaru's mind of being the Hokage was magnified a lot by Karn.
Karn was able to provide him with more resources, and the two had the same goals but some differences, and it was better to work with Karn than to watch out for that stupid daimyo of Konoha all day long.
For these reasons, the relationship between Orochimaru and Karn was brought one step closer.
And he and Karn revealed some things about White Fang, according to the information that Orochimaru tortured from some Iwa ninja on the front line, they knew early on that someone was coming to attack the border garrison, so they arranged preparations in advance.
But Konoha White Fang's strength was too strong, and with two squads, he ran out from the pursuit of Iwashinobi's eight squads; Although there was no attrition, the identity of Konoha White Fang was still recognized by Iwa Shinobi.
With a chakra short knife with silver-white hair and white light, it is impossible for Hagi Sakumo to hide his identity if he did not kill all the pursuing Iwa Shinobi.
Orochimaru doesn't know about the sand ninja's side, but the difference shouldn't be big; And it may be a little more serious, otherwise the Daimyo of the Fire Country will not send envoys to hold them accountable, coupled with the atmosphere in the village, who would believe it if no one contributed.
The Daimyo's envoy soon arrived in Konoha, and he may have received instructions from the Daimyo before he left, and after arriving in Konoha, he came to visit Karn.
Although he had little real power in this position, he was at least a minister, strictly speaking higher than the status of an envoy; Coupled with Karn's exposed fame and chamber of commerce, he can be regarded as a top upstart in the Fire Realm.
The envoy of the Daimyo Mansion spoke to Karn about the Daimyo's orders, discussed with Karn what the newspaper was going to publish, and left.
On the second day, the envoys of the Daimyo's Mansion, Karn, and reporters from the Konoha Newspaper came directly to the Hokage Building.
Upon seeing Karn, except for Tsunade, who was slightly surprised, everyone else had a calm face, as if they had known that Karn would come.
After all, Karn is the Minister of Propaganda of the Fire Nation, and although he is a newly appointed minister, he is also at the level of the Minister of Minister; No matter how much Danzou looked at Karn's displeasure, he couldn't make any jokes at this time.
On Konoha's side, in addition to the Hokage and the other three Konoha high-level executives, there are also some elite ninjas in the village who have important responsibilities, such as Orochimaru, who has just returned from the battlefield, Tsunade, the director of Konoha Hospital, Nara Isshin, the leader of the upper ninja class, and Kato Broken and others, who may take over as the leader of the upper ninja class.
However, the most important Hachiki Shuo Shigeru did not appear, which is really incredible, although it may have the meaning of protection if it does not appear, but the people present are all people from the Fire Country, and the daimyo still appreciates Hachiki Shuo Shigeru, and it may be that Karn is an outsider.
"Your Excellency the Third Hokage, appointed by the Daimyo-sama, has come to ask me to inquire about the behavior of your village Hachiki Sakushige in the Land of the Wind."
After the envoy of the Daimyo Mansion finished speaking, he asked his attendant to take out a scroll, handed it to the ape flying sun, and asked, "May I ask if the above task was assigned by the third generation?" β
Sarutobi frowned slightly, only he would leave a record scroll here after the mission was delivered, and ninjas outside would not have this thing at all; However, he still opened the scroll and looked at it, and after reading what was written on the scroll, Sarutobi also felt very troubled.

Chapter 114: The Targeting of White Fangs
Bad Sand Shinobi Frontier Station, assassinating the family of Seisuke, the Minister of Finance of the Land of the Wind, and destroying the trade routes... Any one of them is a felony to sabotage the diplomacy of the two countries, especially the assassination of the Finance Minister of the Land of the Wind, Konoha would not do this at all, leaving the task on the scroll to become someone else's handle.
"This is a forgery, Your Excellency."
Sarutobi said affirmatively: "Konoha ninjas will not take the so-called scroll out after receiving the mission, this is a rule established decades ago, so this is a false accusation." β
"Well, although the Daimyo-sama also replied to the envoys of the two countries, but it is a fact that the Seisuke family in the Land of Wind was killed, and the other party is also worried about this... The daimyo is very difficult to do, and the three generations of Hokage. β
The envoy's face was embarrassed, and then he asked, "Speaking of which, even the daimyo has heard of the prestige of Konoha White Fang, and often praises it.... Why did there be a problem with this mission, and it was still being used..."
Such an obvious framing sentence made the minister not say it, as a person from the Daimyo Mansion, he usually doesn't speak too surely, otherwise his actions will be misunderstood by the three generations of Hokage as the meaning of the Daimyo.
"This is Qimu Shuo Shigeru himself is too naΓ―ve!"
Danzo suddenly spoke, he was the Hokage Fuzuo, and it was too simple to say some facts.
"When Qimu Shuo Mao knew that the rescue was hopeless, he still chose to expose Konoha and let the enemy plant it successfully; If he had returned to the Fire Nation in time at that time, then it would have been impossible for the other party to blame the Fire Nation for this matter!
We're just going to have one ninja captured and redeemed diplomatically afterwards. β
The last sentence of Tuan Zang was extremely naΓ―ve, how could the captured ninja be easily redeemed, more than ten years later, Morino Yin Biki was captured by the enemy, and even if he returned to Konoha, he was tortured very ugly.
And now there is a tendency for the two major ninja villages to go to war, once captured, in addition to the medical ninja is still a little valuable, the other ninjas will be tortured to the inhuman form.
However, the envoy of the Daimyo Mansion didn't know the situation, and after listening to Tuan Zang's words, he also felt very reasonable, and couldn't help nodding in agreement: "So that's the case, it seems that this time it was indeed Konoha White Fang's mistake... What do you think, Your Excellency? β
"I don't have any opinion, just follow the wishes of His Excellency Daimyo."
Karn shook his head and said that he had no intention of helping Hachiki Shuo Shigeru at the moment, and that his guess could not be used as evidence, and he could not help him unless he found ironclad evidence of the planting.
"In that case, I hope that Your Excellency the Third Hokage will let me bring back a detailed report to the Daimyo.... Also, the Daimyo of the Land of the Wind therefore demanded compensation from the Daimyo-sama, and the Daimyo-sama had already agreed, so the next expenses of Konoha Village would also be reduced. β
"What?"
Ape Fei Ri Chop, Tuan Zang and the other two advisors were stunned for a moment, cutting funds? Why at this time!
"Your Excellency."
The daimyo envoy said helplessly: "This is a matter of no choice, the daimyo of the country of wind is very angry, and the daimyo also has to think about it a lot, otherwise it will be very troublesome for the two countries to completely cut off the exchange."
And this is what the Daimyo meant, if the three generations of Hokage have any objections, please go to the national capital and tell the Daimyo in person. β
It should be that those nobles who do business will be very troublesome, the country of wind is the country with the richest mines in the ninja world, once there is no trade route, the loss of the nobles of the country of fire will make them extremely heartbroken.
But the cut in funds made Konoha even more headaches, except for Orochimaru in the house, all the Konoha ninjas frowned slightly when they heard the cut in funds, and they were almost about to go to war, so if they didn't increase the funds at this time, they would also cut...
However, it was obviously unrealistic to talk to the envoy, and Ape Feiri glared at Tuan Zang secretly, and then worried in his heart; He can only go to the capital daimyo's mansion now, otherwise Konoha won't even be able to buy all the armaments.
In order to suppress a daimyo-biased Shuo Shige, Konoha actually had to face a situation of cutting expenses; If he had known that this would be the end, Ape Fei Ri would definitely have stopped it after realizing this.
But the daimyo should know that Hachiki Shuomao was planted, why do you want to do Konoha ... Ape Feiri took a puff of dry smoke and suddenly had a guess; However, he was not sure that if this thing was really as he thought, it would still need to be done by the roots of Tuanzang.

Chapter 114: The Targeting of White Fangs
............
It was over quickly, Karn only said one word, and spent the rest of the time watching the performance of the people in the room.
After this incident alone, the odds of competing for the Hokage have shrunk several times, and among the remaining people, only Tsunade and Kato are somewhat threatening to Orochimaru's position as Hokage.
However, if Orochimaru indicates that he wants to run for the Hokage, Tsunade will probably not compete with him, because Orochimaru will most likely be a rope tree after that, and Tsunade is not interested in the position of Hokage, how can he not get along with his younger brother.
In this way, it is Kato who is broken, Karn has thought about Bo Feng Shuimen, but he can't think of how Bo Feng Shuimen can compete with Orochimaru.
Discuss it with Orochimaru.... Karn had just raised his head to see where Orochimaru was, when he saw a plump cloud of snow white approaching him.
"Hey, you haven't seen this guy for a while, why did you suddenly become a minister?"
Tsunade suddenly approached Karn and asked about it.
"It was probably a few months ago, and you're so busy that you don't even pay attention to it?"
Karn pointed to the newspaper in the hands of the villagers on the street, and said to Tsunade, "I founded the Ninja World Weekly with the permission of His Excellency the Daimyo, and he also took the opportunity to give me the position of Minister of Propaganda because of my literary works. β
"Medical ninjutsu has been developing and popularizing during this time, so... Wait, your literature? β
Tsunade suddenly remembered the book that Rope Tree and Kushina secretly read, and she also quietly read a little, he who had never been in love, he almost tore the book in shame, but fortunately she thought that it was a book that Rope Tree bought, and then placed it in Kushina's drawer intact.
She didn't expect Karn to write such a revealing book, and the daimyo liked to read it?
"Don't think crookedly, I have more than a dozen books, many of which are works with high literary depth."
Karn wanted to say a few books for Tsunade to see, but considering that she didn't have the temperament of a literary girl at all, she didn't know even if she did, so she gave up on the plan and asked about other things.
"Are you just looking for me to confirm this?"
